Why do you think she keeps complaining about the appointments being two minutes? Every doctor she goes to probably sees she's clearly mentally ill and has no money, they're likely just doing the bare minimum to get her out of their hair. Your average OB-GYN is nowhere near trained for how to deal with a homeless…

"One dubious courtier mocked her outright, saying that the Queen's pregnancy would 'end in wind rather than anything else."

Why are cops trained to "first, stay safe and go home to their families"? Why the fuck...is self-preservation the #1 goal of the people our society depends upon to defend us when we can't defend ourselves? Physicians, clinicians, researchers, and others in the medical field swear an oath upon entering practice:…

My most valuable and painful lesson: people who like us try to not confuse, mislead or hurt us. I've posted here a ton with regards to domestic violence, and my former agonizing relationship. From the very start that dude was just a mass of contradictions: like he would call me and we would talk for hours - but then…

We live far from all of our relatives so I have to ship their gifts to them... I send gifts and never, ever get a thank you... I send things directly from the store so I need to know that the gift I'm paying for is being shipped and delivered. I've tried saying in my own thank you note...

I agree that your husband should take this on, at least with his family. Another idea is to have a family conversation about stopping gift giving altogether, or go the "pick-a-name" route so there's fewer things to send. My family has to ship everything to each other and about 5 years ago one brave sibling brought up…

You just have to grit your teeth and get through it. Sometimes we fall for people who just don't fall back - and there is no good reason why. Sometimes we fall for people who soak up the attention like a sponge - but are like cold mirrors who reveal nothing except contradictions. It's hard being reeled in then tossed…

I would say youre not obligated to keep sending them. Maybe hubby should handle the gifts if he feels it necessary, and you can sign the card.

You talkin' to me?

Those managers are enemabags. So is anyone who gets snotty about pregnant women trying to exist while being pregnant.

When the first two comments on the post are about white men who are also accused rapists or child molesters but who don't receive this same vitriol or treatment, it really makes me take a second and think.

i wish i could express the look on my face and the feelings i felt when i read this headline. it was all VERY complex/

I must have missed that memo in law school crim law that resisting arrest was a capital offense!

come on, don't throw a stink bomb like that and run away from it. There has to be a simple way to explain why you have the position you have on the Garner case, at least.

i just don't get why these old farts CARE SO DAMN MUCH. are they afraid that if they allow us the ability and freedom to choose NOT to procreate that in this shit economy they've handed down to us, most of us will elect NOT to out of expense alone, and then the Grand Social Experiment that was America will implode…

It's true. Women in my industry joke that our jobs are man-repellant. Once you tell a new guy where you work, they usually haul ass for the hills. Why? They know you don't need them financially for shit, so they'll never have the upper hand of providing for you (which can easily turn into a hostage situation). Some…

my grandparents have been married for 50 years but my memaw almost left my papaw in the late 60s because she found out he was gambling all of his money away. she got a job and started saving up to leave; he realized what she was doing and begged her to stay and quit her job, and said that he would quit gambling. she…

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. If you heard probably 99% of the pop stars these days sing live "unplugged" with no reverb or accompaniment I doubt it would be much better. Beyonce can't sing half as well. Mariah has some def vocal problems, wear and tear from all the riffing and over singing, but this is unfair…

...he save bread...?
